Chapter 217 The City Lord's Treasure Chest

"Lord Earl, please go this way!" Mei Ji, the maid sent by the Lord of Guangming City, led the way respectfully.

Jia Zhengjin observed the structure of the castle while walking, and when he passed the largest room, he happened to see a few maids coming out from the door with rags and brooms in their hands.

However, his eyes were attracted by a glittering golden treasure chest beside the bed.

The treasure chest is about half a meter high and one meter long, with golden patterns all over the body, giving people a feeling that it is only for local tyrants.

"Lord Earl?" Mei Ji turned her head and saw Jia Zhengjin in a daze, so she walked back, "That's the rest room of the Lord City Lord, and the toilet is here!"

"Oh, oh!" Jia Zhengjin hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and followed Mei Ji forward. But his thoughts completely stayed in the city lord's room!

"My lord, the toilet is here!" Mei Ji brought Jia Zhengjin to the door, lowered her head and said to him.

"Hmm!" Jia Zhengjin was still thinking about the treasure chest of the city lord. no way! When playing games, opening treasure chests often yields good things, and sometimes even artifacts can be obtained. So as long as he saw the treasure chest, he basically couldn't walk!

But opening the treasure chest obviously requires the corresponding treasure chest key, and the key to the treasure chest of the city lord must be with him.

Let the city lord take the initiative to hand over the treasure chest and key?

Even pretending to be an earl is impossible, right?

kill him?

Who knows whether the city lord is strong or weak? If he is a master of concealment, wouldn't it be a disaster for him?

There must be a lot of good things in that treasure chest, right?

Is it possible to open an artifact?

Thinking wildly in my mind, I don't know how I got out of the toilet.

Back in the hall, the City Lord of Guangming City greeted him immediately: "Lord Earl, are you ready?"

"Hmm~" Jia Zhengjin pretended to be very satisfied.

"My lord, what do you think of Mei Ji?" the City Lord of Guangming City asked with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Jia Zhengjin looked sideways at him.

The Lord of Guangming City showed a smile that only men can understand: "This girl has received special education since she was a child, and she is very good at that!"

Jia Zhengjin would be an idiot if he didn't understand. He didn't expect the Lord of Guangming City to be so perverted. The girl just now was only fourteen or five years old, right? It turned out that he was educated since childhood, and judging by his beating expression, he must have enjoyed it a long time ago!

He didn't have the habit of sharing it with others, so he immediately shook his head: "Thank you, the city lord, for your kindness! But it's inconvenient for me to bring my wife along with me!"

"Yes, yes!" The city lord suddenly realized, "The countess is charming and beautiful, of course the count won't be tempted by something like Mei Ji! Blame me! Blame me..."

He didn't doubt the age gap between Jia Zhengjin and Connie, after all, he had seen it even across races.

The more I talked to him, the more I felt that the city lord seemed to disrespect women, and Jia Zhengjin was not very happy. Because when the city lord talks about women, it seems to be talking about a prop, a commodity, especially the maids around him, even more so!

So Jia Zhengjin became even more determined to take away his treasure chest, but how to take it away is a problem!

The two chatted for a while, basically the Lord of Guangming City was flattering Jia Zhengjin. And between the lines, they are basically asking about the possibility of promotion.

It turns out that he has made great military exploits since he has been the city lord of Guangming City for so long! Countless bandits have been wiped out over the years, and countless letters have been written to the king to report, but the king has never sent an official document about promotion.

The City Lord of Guangming City does not want to be just a small City Lord for the rest of his life, although Guangming City is actually one of the best cities in the Xiongfeng Empire. What he wants to be is the Lord of the Bright Territory with a larger territory, to rule more lands and cities!

Obviously, he believed that if the Earl in front of him could write a letter to recommend himself to the king, there was still great hope! It would be even better if they could join forces! After all, this is not the kind of small lord in front of him. I heard that his territory is the largest in the Xiongfeng Empire!

Jia Zhengjin didn't understand what was in the mind of the Lord of Guangming City,

But what is certain is his ambition. I didn't expect that after losing his troops, this guy not only didn't want to think about how to deal with the situation, but also had time to think about other things. He was also drunk!

But what the Lord of Guangming City was thinking, he didn't care at all. What he cares about is how to get the key to the treasure chest on the opponent's body!

So he pretended to understand on the surface, and nodded again and again to indicate that there was no problem. Even the Lord of Guangming City asked if he could write a letter to recommend him, but he agreed first.

Regarding his attitude, the Lord of Guangming City smiled happily, as if he had seen the real light!

The two sides chatted quite happily, and soon became "as close as brothers".

"Lord Earl, it's really a pleasure talking to you!" The City Lord of Guangming City got the answer he wanted, and stood up contentedly, "I will order someone to hold a grand dinner for you and your wife, please be sure to do me a favor! "

"No problem!" Jia Zhengjin agreed to everything anyway.

"You must be tired from the long journey here! I'm so sorry for dragging you on for so long!" The Lord of Guangming City waved, "Mei Ji!"

"Here!" The maid named Mei Ji came over immediately.

"Take the Earl to his room to rest!"

"Yes! Earl, please follow me!"

"Okay, sorry to trouble you!"

Jia Zhengjin first followed Mei Ji to the room arranged for him by the Lord of Guangming City. It was found that it was right next to Connie and Liz's room, and the rooms of Tina, Palin, Christina, and the elf girls were also nearby.

But except for Connie, the "Countess", who was taken care of, all the other girls were taken to the room. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, their identities are followers.

"Tina, didn't you show your feet?" After letting Mei Ji leave, Jia Zhengjin immediately went to see his wife. What he was worried about, of course, was whether the identities of the elf girls had been exposed.

"No," Tina gently took his hand, "but I'm a little jealous!"

"What's wrong?" Jia Zhengjin asked.

"Obviously I'm your wife, and everyone calls that old woman the Countess!" Tina pouted with displeasure, "I'm not happy!"

Jia Zhengjin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This is just acting! And let you be the countess, do you have that temperament?"

"It's true..." Tina lowered her head. She also knew that she was a country girl, and she couldn't pretend to be a countess.

"Okay!" Jia Zhengjin smiled and stroked his lovely wife's golden hair. "Anyway, I'm here to pretend for a few days, and I'll leave soon! By the way, I just saw that the city lord has a big treasure chest..."
